This guy should sue to get his gun back. RKBA organizations should be offering to provide his legal representation. This is a PERFECT test case. All in one package, it demonstrates a citizen’s unmistakeable need to own a gun and keep it readily accessible and loaded, demonstrates the beneficial outcome resulting from an armed citizen, and demonstrates the state’s obstinate unwillingness to keep career criminals behind bars. And the guy is 80, so public opinion and a jury will be sympathetic to him, and he doesn’t have the pesky complications younger people usually have, such as a job that he’d be risking if the state decided to invent some felony charge as retaliation for his suing to get his gun back.
Even Shortshanks wouldn’t be stupid enough to persecute the guy. ARROGANT enough, YES. But not politically STUPID enough. If I were this guy, I’d buy another gun in a heartbeat. Hopefully, he already has. Or some other actual American has given him one to use. I know I would have, were I a neighbor.
